Before Chen Cixiu could even get angry, Jiang Yuanxian couldn't take it anymore. They had been best friends throughout high school. He had always received help from Chen Cixiu, and if it weren't for family misfortunes, he wouldn't have had to drop out of university. With Chen Cixiu's help, his grades were already good enough for a second-tier university. Therefore, he couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of Chen Cixiu.

"Tao Yuanhong, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all." Although Jiang Yuan had been a firefighter for several years, he was originally an impatient person, and it was only in recent years that his temper had been tempered a lot.

Chen Cixiu crossed his arms and looked at Tao Yuanhong. This kid had been at odds with him since high school, and he still didn't know the specific reason.

"Jiang Yuan, it's been so many years, why are you still so protective of Chen Cixiu? Didn't you become a firefighter? What, are you trying to put out a fire with Chen Cixiu?"

The mocking laughter continued. Chen Cixiu picked at his ear, walked towards Tao Yuanhong, stood in front of him, and just as Tao was about to continue his taunts, he punched him hard in the stomach. His position was perfect to avoid being caught by surveillance cameras, since there were people all around.

Tao Yuanhong clutched his stomach in pain and cursed, "Chen Cixiu, you bastard..."

"Tao Yuanhong, I let those baseless accusations you made against me to our homeroom teacher back in high school go by like a dog biting me. I haven't bothered you all these years because I didn't think it was necessary. But what did you just say? You said Jiang Yuan was neglecting his studies? While he was fighting desperately in the fire, were you hiding in the toilet, holding your phone in your left hand and using your right?"

Upon hearing this, all the students stared at Chen Cixiu in astonishment. In their minds, Chen Cixiu had always been a gentleman, always maintaining a gentle attitude no matter what others said or did.

He didn't get angry when Tao Yuanhong said he was a kept man, but when it came to Jiang Yuan, he not only hit him but also cursed him.

When have they ever heard Chen Cixiu swear and curse?

After this, who would dare say that Chen Cixiu wouldn't swear?

This is what it means to persuade people with reason; if all else fails, you might resort to physical violence?

"Old classmate."

A gasp drew everyone's attention as an elderly man with a full head of white hair walked over. He was their high school homeroom teacher, whom they had taught from the first year of high school to the third year.

Moreover, they were the last class he taught.

The old teacher often said he was very lucky; just before he retired, he met a group of obedient students.

They didn't cause him much worry; they would supervise each other's studies, and their class had the highest rate of students getting into top-tier universities.

Many of them are from 985 and 211 universities, and some are even from the most prestigious universities.

Almost everyone came today.

"Teacher, I miss you so much! How are you?"

The young men and women in their twenties had smiles on their faces. When the old teacher saw how welcoming they were to him, the wrinkles around his eyes creased. Although he was old, he was still quite mobile and did not need anyone's help. Several female students happily took his hands and helped him to sit in the main seat.

Has Cixiu arrived?

The first thing the old teacher asked Chen Cixiu when he came in was...

After all, Chen Cixiu was the top student in his class. Jiangbei University was a 985 university, and he could have gone to study at the highest institution of learning in Beicheng. However, he felt that his parents both worked at Jiangbei University, so he did not want to leave home and instead studied at Jiangbei University.

As a result, many teachers and even the principal tried to persuade him to stop.

However, he was very determined, and the matter was dropped.

"Teacher, Chen Cixiu is here. He's really something now. He got married right after graduation, probably the first one in our class to do so. And his wife is quite wealthy."

Upon hearing Tao Yuanhong's words, Chen Cixiu finally felt a little regretful.

He had never done anything he regretted in his life, but today, he truly regretted not having stopped this kid in high school.

"What? Cixiu, you're married?"

The old man had already seen Chen Cixiu. Chen Cixiu came to his side, shook his hand, and said, "Yes, old teacher, I'm married now. My wife is very beautiful. Let me show you."

He took out his marriage certificate and placed it in front of his teacher.

The old teacher pushed up his reading glasses and looked carefully at the photo on his phone. "This girl is really pretty."

"Haha, Cixiu, this girl is great. She's beautiful and a good match for you. But as a man, you should have your own career. You've just graduated, and I heard from your parents that you don't plan to pursue a master's degree. You plan to do an internship for a while and then start your own business. I'm your teacher, and I know your talent very well. Cixiu, with your abilities, as long as you retain the mindset you had when you were a student, you will succeed at whatever you do."

The old teacher did not ridicule Chen Cixiu as Tao Yuanhong had expected.

This made Tao Yuanhong clench his fist.

Four years have passed, and in the old teacher's mind, Chen Cixiu only has one dark history: having been in a romantic relationship.

He remains his favorite student.

"Old Boss, it's not easy to make money these days. My company has a bunch of graduate students, and they still have to work under me. Besides, their current salary is generally only around ten thousand yuan. After they've accumulated seniority, their annual salary might only be fifty or sixty. If Chen Cixiu wants to start his own business, I'm afraid it will be difficult. I only got to where I am today because of my dad's resources." Tao Yuanhong mocked smugly.

None of the students present were as good as him now.

Because they just graduated, what can a group of recent graduates do?

Tao Yuanhong's family is quite wealthy; his father owns a company. After graduating from high school, he stopped studying and went home to work with his father. Now he is able to take over some of his father's company's affairs, which proves that there are really no particularly bad students in the old man's class.

“Yuan Hong, what’s wrong with you tonight? Why are you targeting Ci Xiu? You’ve been out of school for four years. I’ve investigated all the things you did back then. You’re classmates, so it’s inevitable that you’ll meet again in the future. Why are you making sarcastic remarks about Ci Xiu?”

The teacher's words made the other students cover their mouths and laugh.

Tao Yuanhong never expected that he would be scolded by his teacher.

He was very unwilling, but he could only force a smile. He dared not offend his old teacher, who had helped him in the past, and he didn't want to be called an ingrate.

"Tao Yuanhong, you're only twenty-two? No, I remember you were twenty-three. What, are you treating us to a feast this year?"

Chen Cixiu said coldly to Tao Yuanhong, his eyes chillingly cold.

"Cixiu, be lenient when you can."

The old teacher quickly slapped his hand.

"Yes, teacher, I'll go back and sit down first." Chen Cixiu saw that other classmates were also coming up to catch up, so he quickly made way.

Just then, the door opened.

Mu Wan walked in.

Chen Cixiu suddenly noticed Tao Yuanhong's bright eyes and raised an eyebrow, "So it's because of Mu Wan?"
